Hello,

Just a quick note to introduce myself to the list. I have just begun to
memorize scripture verses, so anywhere is a good place to start. I have
read some of the more recent list archives and have gained much from the
list in that form already, and look forward to seeing much more that
will encourage and inspire me in this effort, and someday be able to
contribute same.

Thanks,

Herb

I would also like to memorize with a group - is anyone interested in
Romans?
I've made it only halfway through chapter l and know portions of  chapter
8.

My name is Brad Ullner, from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Like Mark I've
been reading the posts that come to this group of people for along time
but hadn't yet responded with any of my own messages.

I am a student at the University of Waterloo, studying for a Master's
degree in Political Science.

I would like to express interest, Mark, in joining your adventure in
studying the book of Luke. I was wondering if there was something in
particular that interests you in doing memory work in Luke?

I hope that my response will also encourage others to join in this
endevour to memorize some portion of Luke.

Brad Ullner

Mark:

Thanks for your email. The whole book of Luke in one year is quite a
challenging goal! I'm afraid it would be too much for me. I WOULD, however,
like to memorize with a group of others. I am just finishing up the Sermon
on the Mount the end of June and have been praying about another segment of
scripture to memorize. I have gotten several indications that that segment
is the book of James. If there is anyone else out there that would like to
memorize the book of James with me starting July 1, please let me know and
we can start a little study group as a subgroup of this list serv.

SDG,
Lorry

Hi.  Thought I'd introduce myself to everyone on the list.  My name is
Ken Boer, I just graduated from college and am going on to do an
internship program at a church this fall.  I was a music major and plan
to go on in music, so I am very interested in the many ways that
scripture and music can intersect.

I got started on scripture memorization a few months ago when a friend
gave me a copy of Word for Word, a book by John Rees, a pastor in
Pennsylvania.  I had never been steady in my memorization before, but
this book got me going.  It's a book of scripture passages set to music.
They're long passages, often entire psalms or large paragraphs from other
portions of scripture.  Everything is NIV.  He wrote the book for use in
the school where he is principal, and kids learn the songs and memorize
verses all the way K-12, and review them every couple years.

I sat down with the book and made a cassette tape of myself singing some
of the psalms, and work through it on my hour-long commute to work in the
morning.  I was able to learn 4 psalms last week with the tape.  It's
really been an incredible blessing.  I must learn 2 to 3 times as fast
with the music, and I'm sure I retain more.

The book also suggests rhythms for speaking or "rapping" scripture along
with hand claps and knee pats for children.

_I am looking for any materials that anyone knows of that are similar to
this_.  I spent 6-8 hours searching the web and writing emails a few days
ago looking for anything similar.  I haven't found anything, especially
with longer portions of scripture.  Can any of you point me in the right
direction?  Does any such material exist?

Thanks.

Ken Boer

Hello Herb - and everyone!!!

I appreciate very much the notes some have sent. Our family will be away in
the jungle for a couple months (but will still be memorizing Scripture -
and encouraging tribal Christians to do so), so I won't be on here. But do
post a note occasionally to encourage others. We all need it!!

God bless!

Hi Lorry,

I love the book of James too. I would love to join the team. But for the
first two weeks of July I won't be able to email as I am going overseas. I
can catch up with you when I am back. If that's okay, count me in please.

Mercy

Hi,

I recently started memorising John and stopped few days after I started. I
guess I need to set a goal, like you did. I am encouraged to start again
now.

God bless.
